We had a hen with severe poopy butt. She has been a little lethargic but acts normal otherwise. We had noticed a decline in egg production, but didn’t start worrying until now. We cleaned up the area and found that her belly appears (to us newbies anyway) swollen or distended. We don’t think it’s egg binding, as we felt in her vent and couldn’t find an egg that would have been blocking her up. I am attaching pictures of her after we cleaned her up and trimmed the poopy feathers away. Please help. She’s one of our favorites and would hate to have to cull her for just not knowing something was
treatable.
